Why and How Making Image Sensors More Intelligent?
Ángel Rodríguez-Vázquez, University of Seville
Abstract
Solid-state image sensors are employed at ever more applications thus reaching overall market
volumes in the range of 10 billion units. Besides their extensive usage in cell phones and personal
electronic appliances, other application sectors with large volume potentials are rapidly evolving
such as medical, military, automotive, surveillance, robotics, machine vision, and the like. Among
other reasons, this proliferation of solid-state image sensors is driven by the adequacy of modern
CMOS-based imaging technologies to design systems with reduced SWaP, low cost, large speed and
large functional capabilities and flexibility. However, CMOS imaging systems are complex systems
whose design requires quite different pieces of expertise, namely: pixels, analog signal processing,
pixel readout and analog-to-digital conversion, digital signal processing, output drivers, etc.
Confronting the design of new imagers require hence the concourse of multidisciplinary teams. This
is particularly pertinent for the newer generations of smart imagers required for high-end
applications and/or requiring ultra-fast image capture, on-chip image correction, scene
interpretation, high dynamic range capture, etc. All these features demand architectural and circuital
innovations and pose significant challenges to designers. Also, the increased interest on sensors
capable of capturing 3-D scenes raises new challenges at circuit level related to the necessity to
interface pixels different from those employed for 2-D capture, on the one hand, and to extract and
convert to digital domain time information, on the other hand. This talk presents an overview of
recent advances on smart CMOS imagers covering architectures, circuits and applications.
Biography of Ángel Rodríguez-Vázquez
Ángel Rodríguez-Vázquez (PhD, IEEE Fellow) is a Full Professor of Electronics at the University
of Seville. His research is on the design of analog and mixed-signal front-ends for sensing and
communication, including smart imagers, vision chips and low-power sensory-processing
microsystems. He has authored 11 books, 34 additional book chapters, and some 150 journal
articles. He has presented invited plenary lectures at several international conferences and has
received several best paper awards (IEEE Guillemin-Cauer, two Wiley´s IJCTA, two IEEE ECCTD,
one SPIE-IST Electronic Imaging, IEEE ISCAS best demo and IEEE ICECS best demo). He was
elected Fellow of the IEEE for his contributions to the design of chaos-based communication chips
and neuro-fuzzy chips. His research work got some 6,400 citations; he has an h-index of 42 and an
i10-index of 122. He has always been looking for the balance between long-term research and
innovative industrial developments. He founded AnaFocus Ltd. in 2001 on the basis of his patents
on vision chips and served as CEO, on leave from the University, until June 2009, when the
company reached maturity as a worldwide provider of smart CMOS imagers and vision systems-onchip. The company was acquired by e2v in 2014. He has served as Editor, Associate Editor and
Guest Editor for different IEEE and non-IEEE journals, is in the committee of sveral international
journals and conferences, and has chaired several international IEEE and SPIE conferences. He
served as VP Region 8 of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (2009-2012) and as Chair of the
IEEE CASS Fellow Evaluation Committee (2010, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015).

A System Perspective for High-Density Power Electronics in
Consumer, Transportation and Energy-Related Applications
Paolo Mattavelli, University of Padova
Abstract
The recent advances in GaN and SiC power devices have opened the door for a paradigm shift on
the power conversion technology changing the barriers for high power density conversion. The
presentation will give an overview of some applications ranging from low-voltage point of load
(POL) converters, to power factor correction circuits and dc-dc distribution bus converters, up to
battery chargers and utility-scaled power electronics. Examples of significantly improved efficiency
and increased switching frequency in consumer, transportation and energy-related applications are
highlighted together with some issues related to high di/dt and dv/dt and sensitivity to package
parasitics.

The New Semiconductor Electronics: Opportunities, Challenges, and
Lessons for Engineering at the Nanoscale
Giuseppe Iannaccone, University of Pisa
Abstract
Semiconductor electronics was shaped in a form very close to the present one between the 30s and
the 60s, as a distinct discipline with respect to solid-state physics and vacuum-tube electronics.
Now, the recent progress in CMOS technology, materials science, and physics of two-dimensional
materials, provides the opportunity to engineer devices at the atomistic scale. For example, the
recently proposed “materials-on-demand” paradigm aims at obtaining three-dimensional materials
with tailored characteristics by combining layers of 2D materials. In many ways this paradigm is a
sophisticated version of what in the 80s was called “bandgap engineering”, i.e. the artificial
modification of band edge profiles using heterostructures and epitaxial growth techniques with the
III-V or II-VI materials systems, in order to obtain new or improved device functionalities.
The technological challenges to bring it to reality and to transform it into a major industrial
technology are still formidable. From the intellectual point of view, this endeavour requires the
confluence of electrical engineering, condensed matter physics, materials science, quantum
chemistry, into a new body of knowledge. CMOS technology has already exploited its own limited
version of “bandstructure engineering” in recent years, namely in the use of strain to improve
mobility and of high-K metal-gate stacks to reduce leakage, and in the use of new geometry for the
FinFETs or FDSOI MOSFETs. At the circuit and system level, power considerations have become
dominant, especially for the gigascale of integration. In the talk we will discuss the technological
and intellectual challenges and opportunities of the new semiconductor electronics, at the materials,
device, and circuit level.
Biography of Giuseppe Iannaccone
Giuseppe Iannaccone is Professor of electronics at the University of Pisa, Italy. His interests include
the fundamentals of transport and noise in nanoelectronic and mesoscopic devices, the development
of device modeling and TCAD tools, and the design of extremely low-power circuits and systems
for RFID and ambient intelligence scenarios. He has published more than 170 papers in peerreviewed journals and more than 120 papers in proceedings of international conferences, receiving
more than 2400 citations according to Thomson-Reuters WoS. He is Fellow of the IEEE for
contributions to modeling of transport and noise in nanoelectronic devices. Giuseppe Iannaccone
has coordinated a few European and National Projects involving multiple partners and has acted as
the Principal Investigator in several research projects funded by public agencies at the European and
National levels and by private organizations. He acts as a reviewer for a few funding agencies in
Europe and is or has been in the technical committee of several international conferences in the
field of semiconductor technology and design. Prior to joining the University of Pisa in 1996,
Iannaccone was a researcher with the Italian National Research Council. He received the M.S. and
Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Pisa in 1992 and 1996, respectively.
